Prediction
Chelsea will be keen to bounce back following a disappointing 1-0 home defeat to relegation fodder Bournemouth on Saturday. The Blues, though, have history on their side having won each of their last five home meetings with Portuguese opposition. A sixth would guarantee top spot in Group G.
Porto sit level on points the Blues at the summit of Group G and will scrape through to the next round of the Champions League with a draw if Dynamo fail to overcome Maccabi Tel Aviv. However, Porto will drop to third if they draw and Dynamo win in Kyiv, which could hinder their pre-match preperations.
This will likely be a closely fought encounter at Stamford Bridge, with a stalemate on the cards.
